Cameroon vs Serbia[]
The two teams faced each other once in a 2010 friendly game, which Serbia won 4–3.
Jean-Charles Castelletto put Cameroon into the lead in the 29th minute, when he finished from close range after a corner. In first-half stoppage time Strahinja Pavlović made it 1–1 with a header before Sergej Milinković-Savić put Serbia ahead before half time with a low finish to the corner. Eight minutes into the second half, Aleksandar Mitrović put Serbia 3–1 up with a low finish after a passing move. Vincent Aboubakar scooped the ball over Vanja Milinković-Savić to score Cameroon's second goal in the 63rd minute, and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting equalized three minutes later with a low shot after a pass from the right by Aboubakar. The match finished in an entertaining 3–3 draw.
